I Wonder

I walked into a spa on a busy street
With pictures of pretty flowers sweet
Candles were lit by the doorway
They offered me a lei
The Hot Stones and the Swedish
And a new age blend of something English
Has no word for yet while nodding meaningfully
Not fluent in masseuse I nodded meaningfully tooThat ought to have been the first tip offBut my mind had been dulled by the pictures ofPretty flowers and scented candles at the portalAnd I was a mere mortalWrithing in pain from a stiff backWhom the gaggle of ladies in blackHad sold a half hour at an introductory priceAnd I love an introductory price very wellThe second clue was the serpentine hallwayThrough a rectangular building all the way To a cubby with some interesting artifacts on displayShe said,"Did you bring your bunny" and it sounded risqueBesides who brings their pet to a spa I wonderedBut I thought perhaps they allowed pets to comfortThose in pain And in pain I wasIt dawned on me then I might be in the wrong place at the wrong time so I turned and fled ~ Sonali
